You learned in the previous section that archaea have ribosomes, similar to eukaryotes. How does this statement support the theory that is presented in the article?

Respuesta :

Assuming that this is the theory of endosymbiotic creation of eukaryotes , it supports it by showing that ancient prokaryotes such as archae have ribosomes that could have joined together, as the theory states to create the eukaryote's ribosomes that they have today (because they're so similar.)

The similarities in the ribosomes of archaea and eukaryotes support the theory of Endosymbiosis.

Endosymbiosis Theory:

  • It states that a prokaryotic cell is engulfed by a Eukariot and survived inside the cell which later becomes mitochondria and chloroplasts.
  • Since the ribosomes of archaea and eukaryotes are very similar it might be possible that the prokaryote was engulfed by archaea.

Therefore, the similarities in the ribosomes of archaea and eukaryotes support the theory of Endosymbiosis.
